Ofcourse any procedure has potential risks but no one has gone blind with brightocular and the success rate has been close to 100%. The media is referring to a story from 2009 and data of side effects from a different shaped and even different colored implant that is currently used in Panama since 2002.
Brightocular was launched and patent approved in 2010. We do not recommend using this implant from the doctor in Panama. Brightocular is the only artificial iris implant with the United States patent grooves and channels design to accomplish a successful surgery.

Eventually, Harris confirmed on her Instagram account that she did lighten her eyes.

"I permanently changed my eye color with Brightocular and lovin it. ... I hated wearing contacts just for the color and it made my vision blurry! Blessed to say my vision is #perfect after my #ice-gray implants!"

According to Brightocular's website, an "artificial iris implant made of a thin, flexible, biocompatible, colored medical grade silicone" is slipped over the eye to give it a different color.

Harris told GMA she had to travel to Africa to have the procedure because it's not legal in the U.S. But clearly, she thinks the effort was worth it.

"I looked in the mirror and I was like, 'They're amazing. I love them,'" Harris said.

Maybe one of the reasons Harris loves her new eye color so much is because it's a pretty rare shade.

A contact lens website notes that gray-silver eyes are very uncommon and are mostly seen in Eastern European countries. The unusual color comes from a lack of pigmentation in the eye.

According to a report on the subject written by an oculoplastic surgeon, patients run the risk of blurry vision, glaucoma, light sensitivity and even have the possibility of losing their vision altogether after having the colored implants put in.

As for Harris, she says she's experienced no side effects yet from the procedure. To hear more of her interview with GMA, head on over to the show's website.
